Samsung’s new Galaxy S23 family<\/a> is here and available for preorder<\/span>. The smartphone line, which was unveiled at the company’s February Unpacked event<\/span> in San Francisco alongside the Galaxy Book 3<\/span>, consists of three models: the Galaxy S23, Galaxy S23 Plus<\/span> and the top-specced Galaxy S23 Ultra<\/span>. But, what’s the difference between each model?<\/p>\n

Starting prices for the phones, at least in the US, remain the same as last year, with the base Galaxy S23 starting at $800 (\u00a3849, AU$1,349), bumping up to $1,000 (\u00a31,049, AU$1,649) for the Galaxy S23 Plus and maxing out at $1,200 (\u00a31,249, AU$1,949) for the Galaxy 23 Ultra. Samsung is reportedly increasing prices in parts of Europe and Australia<\/span>, among other countries. Once prices outside the US are available, we’ll update this story.<\/p>\n

All three devices have a similar glass and aluminum build. They use the same processor (the\u00a0Snapdragon 8 Gen 2<\/a>), have the same display adaptive refresh rate (up to 120Hz) and 12-megapixel selfie camera. The three phones support ultrawideband, a radio technology that helps power features such as using digital car keys and lost item tracking.<\/p>\n

The S23 is the smallest of the three, weighing 168 grams (5.93 ounces) with a 6.1-inch AMOLED display. The S23 Plus has a 6.6-inch screen and the S23 Ultra has a 6.8-inch display. They weigh 195 grams (6.88 ounces) and 234 grams (8.25 ounces) respectively.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Galaxy S23 Ultra has a four-camera module, with a 200-megapixel main camera, two 10-megapixel telephoto cameras and a 12-megapixel ultrawide lens. According to Samsung’s product pages, these sensors have improved resolution (obviously), but also improve the phone’s low-light photography by combining sets of smaller pixels into larger individual ones<\/span> that can capture more light.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The S23 and S23 Plus have identical triple-camera setups on the rear. Both include a telephoto lens, which should be helpful for capturing faraway subjects. You can learn more about the camera specs in our chart below. \u00a0<\/p>\n

The Galaxy S23 Ultra’s new Note-like features<\/a>\u00a0set it apart from both the rest of the S23 lineup and other premium phones made by competitors such as Apple and Xiaomi. It’s the second time a Galaxy S Ultra phone has come with a stylus included in the box. There’s also a slot for storing it on the phone — just like Samsung’s all-but-discontinued Note series. S Pen fans who bought the\u00a0Galaxy S21 Ultra<\/span> had to pay for the stylus separately and find a specific phone case that could store it.<\/p>\n
